Unmesh,
Do you mean memory to manage sessions or how much memory is used in a session?
Unmesh, i doubt that you mean how much memory is uses by a session server.
So I am going to concentrate on the next version.
Lets see for example.
A person loads a page xyz.com
Logs in to xyz.com/user
makes a post top xyz.com/posts/blah/x
makes a comment to xyz.com/posts/abc/1
does not like the answer from someone else to his post at xyz.com/posts/abc/1 and blogs about it to
xyz.com/blogs/userid/
if this is what you mean than its a bit difficult to measure then to measure how much memory is used in creating a session.
Let us know which one do you think it is so we may be able to comment on it.
best regard

Get a load simulator, and start measuring your heap size. If nothing else, top(1), prstat(1M), or Windows Task Manager will tell you how big the process(es) is/are.
